Color/texture books











This is another project that once it was over, I had tons to work with... I ended up making two seperate accordian books with two different schemes, and a "swatch book" to go with each one that matched the same scheme.

Color Theory Reading/Lecture Notes 10/22

Color Theory: The art and science of color interaction and effects.

Additive Color: A major system used in art, which is created using beams of light.
Subtractive Color: The second major system used in art. Color is created when white light is reflected off a pigment or a dyed surface.
Color Interaction: the way various colors interact with each other, since colors are never seen in isolation.
Color Overtones: A secondary hue bias in a primary color.
Color Interaction: The way colors influence each other.
Intensity, Saturation, and Chroma: refer to the purity of a color.
Monochromatic: Where variations of a single color are used. ex: different shades of blue.

Mini Poster Critique

My group narrowed it down to a final three during our critique. I thought it was a little funny that all three that they chose came from the same original drawing, they are just from different areas of it. I was also slightly disappointed that they all came from the same, because I had thirteen out to view, that varied in which drawing they came from. The ones I picked for the critique, I tried to vary in the style, and which drawing they came from, but in the end the three that were left were from the same.
I'm also pleased with the results I received from this critique. The group seemed to have a hard time narrowing down which ones they thought I should keep.
I'm also happy with these three that they liked, because these were some of my favorites that were in my top five.
